Well-located as it is close to the Dragão do mar Center, clean, secure and very cheap, therefore good for backpackers a bit short on money. However, be aware that breakfast is not included (there's a small kitchen you can use to make your own) and more surprising - I've never experienced that in any other hostel in Brazil... - that...

The best value for money! Small rooms, nicely decorated, with fan. A very nice & helpful owner. Location is great, security very high, since the entrance doors are secured with the electronic code. Would stay there again! ps. bring your own toilet paper, though ;)

The positives are that it's in a good location and pretty good value. I paid 40 reais for a private room which I think is pretty decent for Fortaleza. On the down side it was very hot. My room felt about 2 or 3 degrees C hotter than outside at night and even with the fan on constantly it was... More

This is a really great hostel in Fortaleza, Brazil. Maria (owner) is super helpful and friendly, the price of the rooms is very reasonable, and the standard of cleanliness of the rooms and bathroom facilities is very high. The transport links to and from the hostel are good and there is a club about 15mins walk down the road for... More

The owners speak some English, which is rare in Brazil. The common parts are very friendly. There's a kitchen so you can make your own food. Rooms are very basic but there is a fan in each of them. Bed in our room was not that bad...price in summer 2011: 20 reais per person in a dorm and 40 for... More

The bathrooms were always clean as well as the rooms. The hostel was as clean and even cleaner than any other. I really... More

I stayed in Backpackers Ceara Hostel together with my brother for 5 nights and we really enjoyed it. The owner of the Hostel Gisele could help us a lot, giving good advices for our stay in Fortaleza. The hostel is a international one, so it is english spoken and the majority of guests are foreigners. It is a very simple... More

It's not difficult to feel at home in Gisele's Backpacker and its friendly family-like atmosphere. You'll find cheap and clean accomodation; a place to cook; a hammock to digest and nice people to have a bear or two. It's near the dragao do mar, so no worries for coming home at night and very near to the beach ... so... More

I stayed at the hostel for 2 weeks, the owners are lovely, the environment is relaxed. I especially enjoyed the hammocks! The rooms are nicely decorated and the beds are comfortable. It is extremely secure and safe with special coded doors and lockers. The owners take special care in making sure the beds, rooms, bathrooms and kitchen is all very... More
